Hi all,
Few hours to go and I am still not sure we have the consensus to put this forward.
I think we might, but I am not sure?

It is because of the excellent reporting of the methodology that it was relatively easy to spot flaws. I don’t know Clayton personally and don’t doubt that he is a great researcher, and I am glad to learn that he does good work on the privacy front. However, IMHO, I don’t see the sentence highlighted in yellow as being harsh criticism to him personally…, but rather an important part of a descriptive summary of our feedback in the conclusion of the statement. This is of course feedback on the results of the study, and not on his person. I hope he can make that distinction.

While no doubt the study is flawed for the reasons we all know this stuff is more or less impossible to study comprehensively and fairly, Richard Clayton does a lot of good privacy and crypto stuff for ORG and I wouldn't like to criticise him as harshly.
